Exeter NH Stake

Every once in awhile I post a video on Facebook sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his saving Grace. Today I posted a warning to the Nations regarding jesus's return. And told them that they must prepare to meet our savior.

Spent 6 hours on waterfront to help with boats, kayaks, and check in. Was on the lakefront to ensure safety for our older single adults in the region. A participant was having difficulty with processing and regulating emotions. I was able to calm the storm so they could enjoy the beautiful waterfront.

As I entered the space, there were several who arrived for the first time and were not comfortable in the setting. We started a conversation to learn more from each other. When we lean forward and spark joy, it ignites and helps others to feel comfortable

We have established and Institute titled voices Institute for Jesus Christ. We believe that people do not need a college degree of theology to share their knowledge and testament of the saving Grace of Jesus Christ. We meet on a regular basis and we provide services and programs to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Gather food pantry of Portsmouth New Hampshire serves thousands of meals each month to those who are facing food insecurity. They also make available fresh vegetables and other grocery goods at no charge. Individuals who are homeless or financially stressed can come and get a couple of prepared meals Monday through Friday.

Our pool chems for all 10 bodies of water were in constant chaos. So many complaints and so many people disappointed because the pools were so unpredictable. At one point they were closed due to malfunctioning equipment. Our new operation manager worked for 2 weeks trying to remedy the situation. The last 3 days the pool chems have been on target. I went out of my way to find him and thank him personally for getting the pools in working order. I felt he really needed how grateful

My wife works as a lifeguard at a club. I noticed the back log of towels and offered to help. I am getting to know the operations team and it has been a great experience to get to know some great prople.

The pastor who usually conducts the Bible study was unable to be there. I offered the group my assistance in a topic of discussion regarding 2 Kings chapter 19. Where King Hezekiah was going to destroy Jerusalem and he was rebuked by the Lords word and took his armies back home because she was frightened.

On my way to work and during my shopping and even right at work I would greet people with a smile and and for some of them I ask them how they were doing.

Yesterday I met a man at the hospital while visiting patients who had a blockage in his intestine that they cannot operate on because it's too close to vital organs. I contacted a friend of mine and asked him to speak with his son who is a gastrologist surgeon to see if he could help in any way. We're waiting for a response.

Most every Tuesday morning I go to the Portsmouth Regional Hospital where I am part of the volunteer spiritual care team and I visit patients in their rooms. Sometimes I sing a song. Sometimes I pray with them or for them. Sometimes I help them make connections in the community like housing for example housing. I do my best to lift their spirits and help them feel cared for.

My neighbor recently had to help her 100 year old father move to an assisted living. It has been challenging for her to have made that decision. We invited her over for shrimp scampi. It likely won’t be the last time she joins us at our table.

I volunteer two days a week at the library with the students from Mast Way School in Lee, grades K-4.

My husband and I received permission to dig along our apartment front sidewalk and also build a long garden box. We planted hydrangeas, butterfly bushes, and lilacs along with perennials and annuals. In the garden box we planted tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and herbs. We shared our produce with our apartment neighbors who accepted them gladly. Many are elderly and not able to get out but do walk to the front of the building to see the flowers and visit with neighbors. Everyone is appreciative.

A co- worker had a medical emergency this week. I tried to help out the pool deck so that it was clean and ready when she returned to work.

One of the front office workers was a little nervous about getting into the spas before work due to chlorine abnormalities. So I came to work early to test the chemicals so she would be safe.

I take care of a 5 month old, while her mother works. We walk to the grocery store and get groceries to make lunches for the nursing mother.

Coworker's wife was put into the hospital. Had a prompting to reach out and provide a meal or two. Reached out and found they still had the need. Providing the food tomorrow.

11 year old neighbor, whose parents work, asked us to come to her cross country race so she'd have someone to cheer her in...love supporting the kids.

My supervisor has had some challenges in life. When she mentioned she was getting married I told her I had items for weddings if she needed to borrow them. She was so taken back to think I would help her out. She is so used to doing things on her own so offering help was so appreciated.

This elderly lady who loves chicken and celery soup recently was released from rehab after 10 weeks recovering from a broken leg. Standing to cook is hard for her. Knowing I could make something she enjoys made her day and filled several meals.

When I called an elderly friend near noon, I discovered she had been stuck in her electric recliner for 8 hours because the remote cord had slid out of reach. The only other person with a key to her house was unavailable. I contacted a friend who was able to bypass the locked doors. Then I had extra keys made so my friend could pass them out. I, also, velcroed the remote cord in place so it could not fly. My friend was so grateful. And I am grateful to God I could help.

A family who continues to serve others was getting ready for a baptism. I offered to bring a tower of fresh cut fruit to assist with the celebration. Serving others that are always serving was such an honor for me💗
